<h3>
Synchronize view</h3>
<P>The Team perspective contains a Synchronize view. You don't actually have to
be in the team perspective to use this view. As we learned in the Basic tutorial
we could easily add this view to our Resource perspective. (Perspective &gt;
Show View)&nbsp; &nbsp;
</P>


<P>Let's take a look at the Synchronize view in more detail .
</P>


<blockquote>
  <P><img align="texttop" border="0" src="../images/image82_repo_syncview.jpg" width="484" height="364">
</P>


</blockquote>
<P CLASS="Para">The first thing to notice is that the title of the view indicates
we are in &quot;Release Mode&quot; and the Release Mode button (see A) is pressed
in. Release mode allows us to release changes we have made locally to
the repository. By default if you Synchronize With Stream and the stream has no
changes for you to catch up to, you are automatically placed into release mode
to let you quickly release your changes.&nbsp;&nbsp;We'll come back to
&quot;Catch Up&quot;
a little later.</P>
<P>In &quot;Release Mode&quot; the top area (#1) shows all of the resources that
need to be released.
</P>


<P>The bottom area (#2 &amp; #3) is the text compare area we worked with in the basic
tutorial. By selecting a resource in the Structured Compare list the lower area
displays the differences between what we have in the workbench (#2) versus what is currently in the repository's stream
(#3).&nbsp;
</P>


<P>Toolbar buttons (A) allow you to switch between release mode and other
synchronization modes that we will examine in a later section.
</P>


<p>The lower toolbar (B) allows you to merge changes between your file and the
repository copy of the file.</p>
